The Rams started their second series of the second quarter deep in their own territory, but they still came out firing. Marc Bulger threw downfield to Isaac Bruce on the first play and while Bruce made the catch, he didn't survive the pop he took from Jermaine Phillips. First, he fumbled the ball away. Then he left the game, missing the remainder of the first half. He came back in the second half, but he wasn't the same again. Nor was the Rams offense. ...more

That was thorough. Total. Complete. That was the Bucs? Sure was. After a tumultuous opening week where practically every bit of news about this team was bad, they turned Sunday's home-opener into a festival by routing New Orleans 31-14. ...more

This was a problem for the Bucs last year. They would move the ball between the 20s, but would come up short of the end zone and settle for a field goal. You're not going to win a lot of games that way. Not unless you have a stellar defense, and we're not sure the Bucs have that this year. It's incumbent upon the offense then to get the ball into the end zone, which shouldn't be all that difficult. This is not a team void of offensive weapons. With players such as Alex Smith, Maurice Stovall and Michael Clayton, it's a team seemingly built for success inside the red zone. Better execution there will lead to a better overall result. ...more
